Cookie Croissant
Warm, gooey cookie dough squished between flaky croissants? Yes please. This cookie croissant uses buttery croissants and classic chocolate chip cookie dough for a totally extra treat that’s golden, crisp, gooey, and impossible to resist.

croissants
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 croissants flaky, standard-sized bakery croissants (not mini); avoid sugar-glazed
- 1 lb (450 g) refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough in a tube or tub (~450g); about half inside, half on top
Optional Toppings + Add-ins
- white chocolate chips to sprinkle inside or on top
- Nutella or raspberry jam swirled inside, optional
- powdered sugar for dusting after baking, optional
- flaky sea salt optional, for sprinkling on top before baking
Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Serrated Knife
Instructions
- Preheat and prep: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice croissants: Carefully slice each croissant in half horizontally with a serrated knife, as if making a sandwich.
- Spread cookie dough inside: Place the bottom halves of the croissants on the lined sheet. Divide about half of the dough among them, spreading gently all the way to the edges.
- Add croissant tops: Place the top halves back on. Lightly press so each croissant holds together—no need to squish.
- Top with more cookie dough: Divide the remaining cookie dough and gently press a mound on top of each croissant. It doesn't need to be perfect; it'll spread while baking.
- Optional: Sprinkle with white chocolate chips, a little sea salt, or powdered sugar for extra flair.
- Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes, until croissant tops and cookie dough are golden brown with crisp edges. The cookie portion should be just set, but still soft inside.
- Cool and serve: Let cool on the sheet for 3–5 minutes (the filling will be hot!), then eat warm.
Notes
For best results, use bakery croissants and avoid overstuffing—the dough will spread as it bakes. Feel free to experiment with different cookie dough flavors or add-ins. These are best eaten fresh but can be gently reheated for later enjoyment.
